In fairness, we Trump supporters don't want to be sore winners, so we ought to set a time limit on our gloating. I propose three years.

In that spirit, let us revel in the Never Trumpers' tweets leading up to Trump's election night triumph. Now that I've had time to do a full archeological dig, I'm able to present a whole new treasure trove of smug idiocy.

Save this column to share with your children, and they with their children, for years to come.

-- PATTON OSWALT: Comedian who realized he wasn't really all that funny and decided to try his hand at political commentary instead.

His tweets are a perfect time capsule of the Never Trumpers' smug certitude that Hillary would win -- which would soon blossom into bitter recrimination.

The day before the election, Oswalt was snarky and nasty, but his mood turned as election results came in:

NOV. 7:

@pattonoswalt Every artisanal cocktail bar in Williamsburg is scrambling to create a "mazel tov cocktail" right now.

@pattonoswalt Someone create this drink, ASAP. That's what we should toast with tomorrow.

NOV. 8:

@pattonoswalt This is the final, feeble insanity of the Trump campaign being slapped down. It's over, Donny. Get ready.

@pattonoswalt Oh F*CK YOU Brit Hume. Don't act like you were the one lone holdout against Trump. F*ckyouf*ckyouf*ckyou. #ElectionNight [Again, asterisks, mine.]

(Brit Hume was pretty clearly against Trump from start to finish.)

-- POLITICAL CONSULTANTS

My favorite tweets were from the Republican political consultants who have hauled in multiple millions of dollars over the years, in exchange for turning the GOP into a minor fringe party, as exemplified in these electoral results:

1992: GOP loses to a draft-dodging horndog.

1996: GOP loses to a draft-dodging horndog who tried to destroy health care.

2000: GOP barely wins an election so close it wasn't decided until December.

2004: GOP's wartime president wins razor-thin re-election, almost losing to a gigolo.

2006: GOP loses both houses of Congress in a historic sweep after Republican president makes amnesty centerpiece of his second term.

2012: GOP loses in an electoral landslide to president who destroyed health care, staged a disastrous intervention in Libya that got our ambassador killed, and appointed Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court.

-- MIKE MURPHY: High-priced GOP campaign consultant who help Jeb! raise $150 million from credulous donors, in order to win four (4) delegates.

NOV. 5:

Responding to: "But what will happen after he loses?"

@murphymike: A rage howl so loud you won't need a TV set to hear it for 200 miles. #LookingForward #Earmuffs

Responding to John Noonan's "Can't remember how many times guys like @stuartpstevens @murphymike warned GOP about millions of new Hispanic voters"

@murphymike: Indeed.

@murphymike Oh I think I know what outcome of Jeb v HRC in FL would have been ... and about eight other swing states.

(Yes, Jeb! was a political juggernaut. If only he'd had some money to get him through the primaries!)

NOV. 6:

@murphymike My big prediction: I think she'll win FL quickly; will be clear in early numbers. Then cable news will do a huge 180 on "long night."

@murphymike This Hart/POS poll of RVs is always poll I take most seriously. For zillionth time, Trump is gonna lose. FL/NC will go relatively fast.

@murphymike Prediction: HRC winning FL will lead TV heads to proclaim "nobody saw this coming" when fact is their Trump hype has been wrong all along.

NOV 7:

"Elwood" tweets to Mike: "Well mike if you do not see the end of your job we can't help you!! Hope you get air time on how you were so wrong!"

@murphymike Oh Elwood. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow night when the networks call Florida in the 9 pm hour for Clinton and end this Trump nightmare.

NOV 8:

Responding to: "do you think trump wins?"

@murphymike: Nope. Though I will say FL is closer than I and many FL hacks thought.

Responding to: "Still think Trump loses?"

@murphymike: Yes

@murphymike I've believed in data for 30 years in politics and data died tonight. I could not have been more wrong about this election.

(Unfortunately, Mike was getting his "data" from The New York Times, the GOP's best friend in the whole wide world. That's where Mike got that great idea to have Jeb! babble in Spanish and call illegal immigration "an act of love.")
